Disagree, and I have kids and a border collie. I could be persuaded to adopt standard time permanently.

How late do you wake up?

There's a loud voice for this in my household.

I don't think anyone is suggesting it changes the length of the day. The other option would be standard time year round.

Remaining on daylight saving time would mean sunrise in mid-January would happen at roughly 9:30am. That seems like it would not be great.

Especially in the context of engineering or other professional schools, the consequences of a finding of academic misconduct can be massive. Students should and generally do seek external advice, although not always from legal counsel.

Okay, Bob. Whatever you want to believe.

Except the fact that they are leading in nearly every poll, and recently by a significant margin, and I don't think I've seen approval polls w Nenshi up on Smith. Have you? I guess if you ignore that then you are correct, there's no indication.

So, maybe go back to the original question and answer it. Is it possible that different things happen? Yes. Is there any indication that the UCP is likely to lose an election if it were called today?

I'm aware of our system of government. Are you aware that polling data exists with the resolution to predict individual races?

You think Enbridge agrees with you? You should take a peak at what they're building.

Thanks for your input, Fred. You can protest outside with those who think I'm a climate nut.

I was going to use OPEC scenarios.

See section 3.

No idea what you're saying here.

In the constitutional and transport sections.

I do have that, including wonderful visuals from @hannahritchie.bsky.social.

21.02.2026 02:01 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah, have moved it up to third.

What makes you think it wouldn't come up as the reason for the environmental policies discussed?

21.02.2026 02:00 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think you might want to turn it down from 11.

21.02.2026 00:27 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Will be in the constitution section and in the sections on pipes and likely electricity.

20.02.2026 23:38 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It's in there in session 1, but also likely in 3.

20.02.2026 23:37 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah, some of it although this is a good reminder to go back to Mary's book.

How's this?

I think the overall objective here is energy literacy. I might see if I can get sponsored by the war room!

So, constitution up front? And climate?

20.02.2026 22:56 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Nuclear is there for sure, as are wind and solar. Geothermal unlikely to be relevant at scale in AB any time soon. But, yes, rest of it is pretty fossil-fuel heavy, although probably proportional to its role in primary energy supplies.

20.02.2026 22:56 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I was thinking of that. Maybe session 2.

It's intended as a broad-market energy literacy course. So, I think my followers on here are likely a bit too energy-engaged on average to be representative of the target market, but I'm still interested in what you all think!
